I wouldn't even want to comment on the looks of the bike because that can be changed fairly easy for personal taste.
One of my main concerns is how the ride and reliability is and how easy it is to live with.
The other is the price. If they price it too high people may just wait, save a bit longer and buy a rocket (3 or touring).
I often wonder if Triumph look at our website and take on board our opinions and peek at the pics of our bikes to get a feel for what we like.
After all this new bike is being aimed at folks like us and trying to convert the kawazukihondyaha victoryson riders out there to switch their cruisers to Triumph.
